The Preposition Con with Pronouns

How would you ask someone out in Spanish? Pronouns can be used with the preposition con to express company. It answers the question with whom?

In contrast to other prepositions, con can confuse some Spanish learners, because it does not follow the same pattern in all its persons. Let's learn more about this!

Prepositional Pronouns

Rule 1. Prepositional pronouns are those that are accompanied by a preposition to serve another function. Prepositional pronouns in Spanish are:

Pronouns with the Preposition con - Form

Rule 2. To use a prepositional pronoun with con, place it before the pronoun.

Rule 3. As you may have noticed, the first person and second person singular do not have the preposition con before them and have special forms. This is something very important to consider so you can make yourself understood.

This change only applies with the preposition con and not with others such as para, por, etc.

How to Use Pronouns + con?

Rule 4. To ask a person if you would like them to accompany you somewhere, the most common verbs are querer or te, le, les, etc. + gustaría (you want or you would like). First, let us remember the conjugation of both verbs in the present tense.

Then, add a verb in the infinitive, and at the end, add the appropriate prepositional pronoun with con. Let's see some examples.

It works the same way when you are the one who wants to accompany someone.
